Trent Lott is not Comfortable with Miers - Is that Good or Bad?
My first impression would be to eagerly back Harriet Miers for Supreme Court Justice, because there's nothing like making Trent Lott uncomfortable. On the other hand, this is an area where we have a consensus.
The only people who are giddy about this pick are likely the writers of Saturday Night Live who have probably already noticed the resemblance between Ms. Miers and SNL cast member Rachel Dratch. (There are 61 Google hits on "Miers and "Dratch".)
The level of croneyism in in the Bush Administration is nothing short of astounding. At almost the same time an issue of Newsweek started to come off the press with a cover story on crooneyism in the White House, GWB nominated his personal lawyer for Supreme Court Justice. Why Ms. Miers? I can only guess. Looking for a Supreme Court Justice is hard. It's hard work. It's a good thing that W has daughters, otherwise the Texas Rangers would have drafted members of George W's son's little league team. Maybe Mike Brown would have been a better choice. After all, Mike is a lawyer too. He has experience running an important government agency (running into the ground, but running it nevertheless), and most importantly, thanks to his equine background, Mike knows a horse's ass when he sees one. Harriet Miers once described George W. Bush as "the most intelligent man I ever met." Don't get out much there, do you Harriet? (As I write this, there are 896 Google hits sharing "Mike Brown" and "Harriet Miers".)
